Queenie got out of the car and returned to the church. Since the front passenger seat was occupied by Queenie's belongings, Clara stayed in the backseat. The door was closed, and the car keys were left in the car.As the scent inside the car grew stronger, Clara leaned back in the car and grew drowsy. It seemed to be the scent from the good luck charm Queenie had given her. Soon, she began to drift off to sleep.A few moments later, two men sneaked their way to the car. They casually opened the door, got inside, and drove off.When Queenie came out of the church, her car was gone from where she had parked it. She anxiously ran back to the church to ask. At last, she called the police. "Hello? Something terrible has happened! My car has disappeared, and my friend is still in the car! I tried to call her, but she was unreachable. Can you help me look for my friend and the car? The address is…" Queenie said, panic in her voice.After disconnecting the call to the police, she kept he
Queenie might have helped Clara in prison before, but she was now a manipulative and scheming liar. Clara visited the church with Queenie and went missing. Was it really just a pure coincidence?Just then, the door to the interview room opened, and Queenie walked out with red eyes. When she saw Wilson, she said remorsefully, "Mr. Birch, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let Clara wait for me in the car. I was looking for my phone, and I didn't think the thieves would steal my car in broad daylight…"Wilson stared at Queenie with a cold composure on his face, and his cold gaze made a shiver run down Queenie's spine."Surely you should be blamed," Wilson said, his tone stone-cold. After that, he walked past Queenie and talked to the police officers about the case.Queenie shuddered, looking guilty. Mrs. Well misread Queenie's expression and thought she blamed herself for Clara's disappearance. "D-Don't mind Wilson," she comforted her, her eyes still red and teary. "He's just worr
Queenie would not be able to handle Wilson's revenge alone, not to mention the White and Valor family! For the first time, Queenie regretted what she had done to Clara. If she had to do it all over again, she probably would not use this plan against Clara!-When Clara regained consciousness, she found herself trapped in a room with a musty smell. She was tied up on the floor with ropes, her arms and legs restrained. Her eyes were blindfolded with a black cloth, so she had no way to distinguish between day and night.Clara could feel the concrete floor underneath her and hear two young men talking to each other, seemingly discussing something about her. The sound of her waking up stopped the men's conversation, and one of them said, "Oh, she's awake. Let's get to work now.""She's a little old. She must be in her thirties. It's such a waste," the other man answered."She may be in her thirties, but she's still pretty. It's a pity she has to be blindfolded. I'm interested in seeing
Clara was dumbfounded. The men knew she was a small business owner with a small store, which meant this was no coincidence. She was unconscious, and they could not have accidentally stolen a car with her in it.Maybe they were after her from the start!Were they planning to kidnap her? Did they know she was already in there when she happened to be asleep in Queenie's car?Clara thought about how Queenie had desperately invited her to the church and the charm she had given her. She vaguely remembered the light scent from the charm before drifting to sleep. Clara almost figured out the truth with all these clues. "Enough. It's been a long time since we've had a woman, and you're the only one we'll devour today!" One of the men said, and the hands continued tearing her clothes apart.Clara had a bad feeling and knew it would be hard to escape this fate. She only hoped that the baby in her belly would stay safe.Determined to protect the baby, Clara stopped fighting back and decid
She immediately understood the thing on her neck was a dagger. Martin growled, “Don’t come near me! I’ll kill her if you guys come any closer!” The two young men from just now kept repeating, “I don’t know anything. He’s the mastermind behind this! He forced us to do this!” Clara was blindfolded, and she could only listen to what was happening around her. At that moment, she heard a familiar voice. “Alright. Don’t hurt her! We won’t go near you!” Clara was surprised that Wilson was there. Martin breathed heavily and pressed the dagger into Clara’s neck. She felt a sharp pain in her neck immediately. Clara gasped in pain while Wilson shouted angrily, “Stop hurting her! You won’t get away from me if anything happens to her!” “Fine! I won’t hurt her! Tell these police to get the hell out of my way! After that, transfer two hundred million dollars to my foreign bank account and prepare two million dollars in cash and a car for me. I’ll release her when I feel safe.” Marti
Martin still wasn’t satisfied with Wilson, and he said maliciously, “Hahaha! The CEO of the Birch Group is pleasing me like a dog now. Since you care so much about this bitch, why don’t we let her see what you look like now?” The blindfold loosened, and Clara’s eyes widened as she felt a pang in her chest when she saw Wilson. He was kneeling on the ground while hitting himself hard with a wooden stick. He looked bloodied, and he was probably badly injured underneath his clothes. “Stop it, Wilson! Don’t listen to him!” Clara shouted. She could feel the pain in her neck intensify with every word she shouted.“Clara, stop talking or you’ll bleed more,” Wilson said with difficulty. Clara’s tears welled up all of a sudden.“Wilson, you want me to stop her bleeding, right? Since you guys are being so lovey-dovey, you should also feel her pain. Cut yourself on the neck and I’ll stop her bleeding!” Martin said. Clara was stunned at his words. The police officers behind Wilson s
After saying that, Wilson cut himself in the neck. Martin laughed out loud as he watched. “Seems like you’re really infatuated with her! However, she has two wounds in her neck, so shouldn’t you cut yourself once more?” Wilson cut himself immediately without saying anything. Clara couldn’t stop her tears when she saw that. Wilson knew that Martin didn’t mean well, but he still foolishly complied with his request. She wasn’t sure why Wilson did that for her. Wilson panicked when he saw her crying. “Don’t cry, I’m not in pain,” he said, although he was bleeding profusely on his neck. “Since you’re not in pain, cut yourself deeper until you feel the pain! Do it, or else I’ll cut her!” Martin screamed. Wilson raised his hand and proceeded to inflict a third wound on his neck.The blood made him look paler than usual. “You’re not allowed to do that, Wilson!” Clara cried out. The pain in her body was spreading. It turned out that seeing him getting hurt had actually hurt h
“We’ll have to do a checkup in the hospital to assess his condition,” the policeman said and helped Clara and Wilson into a car. In the car, Wilson was still worrying about Clara. “Are you okay?” He asked with a hoarse voice. Clara shook her head while crying. Wilson gently wiped away her tears. “Don’t cry, Clara. You’re safe now, I won’t let you go through this again.” He thought that she was crying because she was scared, but she was crying because her heart was aching for him. She wasn’t sure when she began to feel like that. “Wilson, why did you do that? Why did you cut yourself just because he told you to do that?! I’m… not that important to you!” “It’s not up to you to say that. I have decided that you’re important to me. Besides, Martin wouldn’t let his guard down if I didn’t do exactly as he said.”“Stop talking now. You’ll bleed more if you talk,” Clara said anxiously. “Alright, you shouldn’t talk either.” They remained silent in the car with their hands int
